AFAIK, none of the Windows licenses forbid running in a VM. > Most versions of Windows don't make any provision for it. this is simply wrong http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/virtualization.aspx Licensing the Windows Desktop Operating System For Windows operating system software licensed through retail (FPP) or preinstalled on a PC (OEM), Windows use rights are outlined in the Software License Terms that accompany the software. These license terms provide use rights to run Windows locally on the licensed device in a virtual operating system environment (OSE); however they do not provide use rights for accessing Windows running remotely in a virtual OSE from the licensed device, and are limited in other ways when compared to virtualization use rights provided with Windows Software Assurance, Windows Intune, and Windows VDA licenses acquired through Microsoft Volume Licensing. For example, neither FPP nor OEM licenses permit remote access to a Windows virtual machine (VM) running in a datacenter. For this, a license obtained through Microsoft Volume Licensing is required.
